The springs and the bore are the most important.

Regarding the bore, there is an excellent example. This one:

It's obviously not German, but buyer did not know that. He bought it, and found the bore is not ideal. Got angry:

"513564050
F Misrepresented the C96 I bought. Said it was a good shooter and had a good bore. Said on phone that it was a German Mauser. Was actually Chinese with terrible bore and ruined chamber. Don't trust him
Response: (left on 12/4/2015) Bought a $700 Mausher that only needs cleaning. Mauser address on pistol. Disgruntled! Select

Seller suggested buyer to clean it... but the darn thing has already been cleaned into silver bright. The buyer definitely needs Redman or Closet service.
